[quote=WINDENERGY,237569]EVENING, Yes, I agree with GURTY. It really doesn't matter if a man owns a home. However, Chinese traditional views are much different from the west. Owning a home is an important component of raising a family. However, some of the minority populations in China encourage man and wife remain living in their parents house even after they marry. This is a great idea. The courtship can continue and, when the couple wants to have 'private time' they can rent a villa at Lugu Hu or travel together to a different city. Therefore, to answer your question, this a big problem in Chinese culture. Men have too great of a burden in having to pay for a marriage, a house, buying the future spouse gifts , like diamond rings, and other expensive items. Simply put, the man involved in a relationship with a traditional Chinese girl needs to have a lot of money, in addition to a lot of love. Maybe this a way of "weeding out the weak", but I see it as Chinese women pushing a matriarchal relationship, where they control their men's lives like a dog on a leash. A house cannot be a big issue in a family or love relationship when the couple decides it's not a big issue. A good man will find a comfortable place in society if he 'sticks to his dreams' and the woman, through not being so forceful, will be rewarded with, not only a good man, but a comfortable place to live. __WINDENERGY__[/quote]
